In their own words
LibreWolf
LibreWolf is an independent Firefox-based browser for people who want privacy and security settings applied by default. It includes uBlock Origin with custom filter lists and strict Tracking Protection, while Resist Fingerprinting is enabled and WebGL is disabled. On closing the browser, it removes cookies and site data; Total Cookie Protection is also enabled. HTTPS-only mode and stricter TLS/SSL negotiation rules add further security controls. DuckDuckGo and Searx are among its listed search providers. LibreWolf says it disables telemetry, does not collect data, and lacks the infrastructure to do so. It is free and open source for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Updates usually follow a stable Firefox release within three days, but the browser has no automatic update capability. DRM playback is off by default but can be enabled in settings. Its built-in password manager is disabled, so the project suggests using another option.
